On my first Eroica CA, I rode my '64 Legnano with a 52/42 Campy crank and a 28t five speed free wheel. I walked three hills.
I came back with a '73 Raleigh Super Corse, running a Sugino 50/40/32 triple and a 34t six speed Megarange freewheel. I walked 3 hills, but got farther up the hill before I bailed out. I was also 2 years older. I have since gone to a 52t big ring to get more gear range. Almost perfect set up now.
